It's grainy and rough, like the honey has crystalised. Is that the way it should be? It's far too abrasive to put on sore skin.

That is the way mine was. It didn't dry and remains sticky. I think you could put it on with tongue depressor. . It didn't not work for my eczema.

There was some 'graininess' but it never seemed to pose a problem for me. It won't hurt it if you warm it slightly as with setting it in a cup of hot water for awhile. Your body heat would probably work with the honey on a bandage but the water would work best. It would be best to keep the actual applicator end out of the water but as with any honey the crystallizing is not abnormal. I visited my foot doctor this morning and she recommended the honey to another patient who had foot ulcers like myself. Both of us are a testament that the product works. My foot sores of almost a decade old are completely healed and his are very close. Good luck!

Sometimes the honey does crystalize. If that happens, just put the tube in a mug of warm water and that should help.

No - it doesn't. It is raw in every sense of the word. It was very harsh on my skin.

I didn't have this problem. I bought it to see if it was as good as Wen. It's not as moisturizing, but not grainy.

Good question. Wish I would never have bought it. Unable to contact the company "Perfect Body Harmony". The shea in the jar is gritty. I have bought the bar from them and it is great. However, the shea in a jar is an awful product.

I tried boiling it in some water to test, and it seemed to be gritty still, but that was only for a couple minutes. It is most likely best to not heat too much and alter the proteins.

After using the product and becoming more familiar with oils for moisturizer, I wouldn't explain it as "grainy" anymore. It was just the oil that had solidified, making it feel grainy. But once warmed, like to the touch of your skin, it was fine! It's a really great product. We live in colder temps too, so it may be a harder substance than someone in warmer temps. Hope it helps you! :-)

M.Anderson, The eyes and the face is a tender skin area. I recommend sending an e-mail to the maunufacture for this answer.

I think you should send it back. First of all, I bought it for $20 less. It is in a tube, not a jar and I returned mine because it made my eyes swell up.

It's thick because it has not been heated, which is why it is so much better than normally processed & heated honey. DO NOT microwave it, you are destroying the nutrients...the fact that it's unheated is the whole purpose of buying raw honey!

Yes, mine is totally dulled and scarred by the juices and fruits I've put into it. Very unappetizing in appearance. I want a refund!

It doesn't contain anything harsh. It is not treated on animals either. Its a mild creme feel but I have tried to mix it before and it doesn't mesh with anything.

There is no way to keep it soft in its pure form. I would suggest the NOW Cocoa Butter lotion.

Hi Dee, I'm just seeing this question now. The other comments are correct, there shouldn't be any grittiness. It should be smooth and creamy. Your jar may have been subjected to heat during shipping. Please email me (if you haven't already) and I'll send you a replacement jar right away. Kenny CEO Christina Moss Naturals

Hey there! Well firstly, the company is pretty well known by people around the world for the quality of their product. Secondly, the honey is going to be a much darker and thicker. It'll taste a lot different compared to the usual honey somebody can buy off the store, and it is somewhat "gritty". I really like it, and it will be pretty obvious to tell the difference between the two once you receive it!

I'm having the same problem. I bought mine at a store, so I know this is the real stuff. At first, I thought it was exfoliating my skin because so much "stuff" rolled up when I began applying my makeup. Now I just wonder if it is a problem with my base and they don't mix together well for some reason or another, so it is just rolling up and off of my face as I rub on my base. It comes off in small to big pieces like the skin is peeling. Is that what yours is doing?

It's not smooth as a peanut butter. It would help to put it through a blender.

It feels coarse and grainy, and is very very dusty. I suppose the dust is powdery but the overall texture of mine was coarse and grainy.
